Zen Quotes

Water which is too pure has no fish A Donkey carrying a pile of holy books is still a donkey The whole moon and the entire sky are reflected in one dewdrop on the grass No snowflake ever falls in the wrong place. A flower falls even though we love it, Weed grows even though we do not love it. If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, Does the falling tree still makes a sound? When you get to the top of the mountain, keep climbing Possessing much knowledge is like having a thousand foot fishing line with a hook, but the fish is always an inch beyond the hook. Nothing is weaker than water & Nothing is harder than the rocks Still a slow flow of water can cut through the mountains of rocks Be content with what you have; rejoice in the way things are. when you realize there is nothing lacking, the whole world belongs to you The mind that does not understand is the buddha. There is no other If you realize that all things change, there is nothing you will try to hold on

Mindfulness

Mindfulness is the aware, balanced acceptance of the present experience. It isn't more complicated than that. It is opening to or receiving the present moment, pleasant or unpleasant, just as it is, without either clinging to it or rejecting it. - Sylvia Boorstein
